Notes
- What model of air fryer do you own? I use the Instant Pot Duo Crisp. Cooking times will be slightly different. You may need to increase or decrease the time on your air fryer.
- Fresh egg yolks hold their shape, giving you that classic poached egg look. Older egg yolks have a flatter shape.
- Safety first. Use a kitchen towel or tongs to remove the HOT ramekins from the air fryer.
- How do I release the egg from the ramekin? Grab a small silicone spatula and run it around the edge and under the egg to release it.
- Crack eggs on a flat surface. Nobody likes eggshells inside their poached eggs.
